Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are formulated using water-soluble acrylic resins, making them ideal for both brush painting and airbrushing. They can be applied on materials such as styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and the typical model plastics. The coverage is effective, with smooth flow and easy blending. Before curing, the paint can be removed with plain water.
When using an airbrush, apply Tamiya thinners, including Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Quick tips for Tamiya bottle paint:
- Airbrushing: The paint can be thinned with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
- Finishing: For matte effects, combine any X-gloss color with Tamiya X-21 Flat Base (Items 81521 and 81021) at a mixing ratio of 1:1.
- Thinner: For quicker drying and a harder finish, use Tamiya Lacquer Thinner.
- Flattering: To enhance brush painting effects, incorporate Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) for a smoother finish without brush stroke marks.
